Application filed February 7, 1917. Serial No.

zeazz whom it may concern:

Be it. known that I, GEORGE' LAMBERT, a citizen of the UnitedStates, and resident of New York, in the borough'of Manhattan,

city and State ofNew York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Desk or Table Lamps, of which the following is a specification. The present invention relates to improvements in desk or table lamps, and has for an object to provide sucha-l'ampin which a concealed" mirror inav be provided in such manner as to be thoroughly protected, and

in no way to impair the appearance of the lamp, and adapted to be brought into an GX- posed position when desired for use, in such inannerthat the light of the lamp may be directed with respect thereto, so that the mirror may conveniently used for shaving, for theatrical makeup, and other-such uses. :1" '1 I A. further object istoprovicles'uch a mirror which may be adjusted to any position which may be desired with relation to the light.

VVith these and other objects in view, embodiments of my invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, and these embodiments will be hereinafter more fully described with reference thereto, and the invention will be finally pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment of my invention, in which the lamp is in such position as to conceal the mirror;

Fig. 2 shows the mirror in its exposed position;

Fig. 3 shows the manner of adjusting the mirror;

Fig. 4 shows another method of setting up the mirror in exposed position;

Fig. 5 is a bottom view of the lamp base, showing the mirror concealed therein;

Fig. 6 is a longitudinal sectional View of the base taken along the line 66 of Fig. 5; and

Fig. 7 is a transverse sectional view thereof, taken along the line 7-7 of Fig. 5.

Similar reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several figures of the drawings.

Referring to the drawings, an embodiment of my invention comprises a base 20 which may have any suitable configuration,

and upon which is hingedly mounted a tubular supporting post 2-1 adapted to be adjusted by means of the winged nut 22, and provided at its upper end with an electric lamp 23 hingedly secured thereto at 2 1, and provided with a shade 25 in the usual manner.

The base portion in this embodiment is preferablyqof a rectangular shape, and is provided with a downwardly extending flange 26, forming at the under side of the base rectangular casing. A mirror 27 is disposed in this casing, and is concealed therein by means of arms 28 and 29 pivotally connected to the flanges 26 at 30 and 31, and to the sides of the mirror substantially central thereof at 32 and32. The con nection or the. arms to thefianges at 30 and 31 is of suflicient stiffness to retain the mirror/in the casing until the same is forcibly pulled therefrom by means of the small 11001:.33 provided at the upper side thereof. To produce this stiffness a pin 34 is provided which is provided at each end with a head or enlarged portions and36, and between the head 35 and the flange 26, and between the arm and the head 36 there are provided washers 37, 38 and 39. These washers permit of the easy movement of the arms, and also give the required stifiness to the joint. At the joints 32 the arms 28 and 29 are pivotally connected to the turned up ends 410 and 41 by a brace bar secured across the back of the mirror by soldering or the like. This connection is also of sufficient stiffness to retain the mirror at any position which may be desired.

Fig. 1 shows the device when used for a desk lamp, and with the mirror concealed and protected within the casing of the base. When it is desired to use the mirror, the winged nut 22 is loosened and the base turned up into the position shown in Fig. 2, so that the lamp is supported upon the edge of the base and the joint between the base and the post 21. The mirror may be either used in this position in which it is disposed withinthe casing, or it may be drawn outwardly and adjusted at any desired position as shown in Fig. 3, and for this purpose the hook 33 serves to readily manipulate the mirror.

Fig. 1 shows another position in which the mirror may be used, the same being drawn outwardly from the casing with its upper edge resting at the forward portion of the flange 26, both the mirror and the base being used in this case, to support the lamp. p

I have illustrated preferred and satisfactory forms of my invention, but it is obvious that changes may be made therein Within the spirit and scope thereof, as defined in the appended claims.

I claim: Y

1. In a device of the character described, a base for a lamp forming a container, a mirror-supporting member hinged pivotally to the lamp base, a mirror pivotally supported by the mirror-supporting member and adapted to be concealed Within the lamp base when not in use by swinging the mirrorsupporting member and mirror into the con tainer formed by the lamp base, and adapted to be moved out of concealed position from said lamp base by swinging it out of its position in the lamp base into operative position.

2. In a device of the character described, a lamp, a base for the lamp forming a con tainer, a mirror-supporting member hinged to the base, a mirror hinged to the mirrorsupporting member and adapted to be con cealed Within the base when not in use by swinging the mirror-supporting member and mirror around the hinge on the base and into the container formed by the base, and adapted to be moved independently of the lamp out of concealed position from within the container, to beneath the lamp for use, by swinging it outof its position beneath the base into operative position beneath the lamp.

8. In a device of the character described, a lamp, a base for the lamp forming a container, a mirror-supporting member hinged at one end of the base and adapted to be placed Within the base int-oconcealed position, a mirror hinged to the free ends of the mirror-supporting member in a position between the free ends and adapted to be placed into concealed position between the supporting member when Within the container formed by the base, When not in use, and adapted to be moved independently of the lamp out ofconcealedposition in said container to a position beneath said lamp for use, by swinging the mirror on the free ends of the supporting member and swinging the supporting member on its pivots at the end of the base for placing the mirror in position beneath the lamp.

In testimony, that I claim the foregoing as myinvention, I have signed my name in presence of two subscribing Witnesses. V

a GEORGE LAMPERT.
